TALL BEARDED IRIS FOR 1954 
After each variety is a code-number giving the location of a variety in my planting at Madsen’s. S stands 
for SOUTH section between the two houses. SE is the section just east of this South section, E is for the EAST 
field planting. Row 1 is at the South—and the larger numbers run on North (toward the barn). N is the 
little planting North of the North home of Bert Madsen, and in this planting | give the row number as well 
as the section (one variety to the next) and the rows run East to West. Any iris in the catalog without a 
location indicated may be in the gardens at my home, at Willis Madsen’s in Provo, or at the planting at 
Milton Holdaway’s in Vineyard. 
My plantings at Madsen’s, in Vineyard, are at the 6th house South of the Vineyard Ward Chapel (Church) 
on the Lower Geneva Road. Holdaway’s may be located by traveling North of the Vineyard Ward Chapel— 
turning left at the first lane running West. Go to the end of the lane—turn right—third house to the North. 
Visitors welcome at either of the Vineyard gardens; however, the new varieties and all but two or three 
guests have been planted at the Madsen farm, due to the fact that convention visitors will have an opportunity 
to visit only three plantings in the one day alotted to the Provo-Orem area. | have a few guests at Mrs. 
Samuel Crosby’s and Mr. M. D. Wallace’s in Orem, and we hope some will be in fine condition at one of 
the plantings during visits.
